School Volunteer story - Deirdre

Kids:I have 2 kids at school and a toddler at home.

Work
life:This year I am on maternity leave and getting involved at school as much as possible while I have the flexibility.

How
did you start volunteering at school? It started with
a volunteer roster in preschool. I like being part of my child’s school and finding out whats happening in their day.

What
do you help out with at school?

I help with reading and maths groups and the kitchen and garden
classes. I also water garden beds which is all very flexible
and easy-going and doesn’t take long. I was part of a group effort to run the
cake stall at the Spring Carnival last year.

What
do you like about volunteering?

From the start I could see the benefits,
for the kids and the teachers and for me. The kids seem to get more out of an
activity when they have someone to guide them and I can find out what they are learning. I enjoyed helping to run the
cake stall last year - it was time hanging out with my mates and helping the
school at the same time. It’s more fun and less stress to share a job with
friends!

How
do you manage volunteering with a baby/toddler in tow?

I help when it suits me – which can change day-to-day! Reading groups do not take long and its just part
of my toddlers life. There are also benefits
for my younger kids: by the time they start school they know some of the
teachers and their way around school.

Quotes
from the teachers - Jane
Sutton Y2 teacher: Class sessions always run better
with volunteers. The kids are much more involved in the activity and they can
see that our community values and celebrates reading.

Thea
in the garden: Its great having other people
volunteering with everyday tasks like watering and feeding chooks. Its one less
thing that I have to remember and having more people involved helps create a
more vibrant garden.

How you can help your child to maximise their experience at Majura Primary School

The depth and breadth of co-curricular activities offered at Majura Primary School could not happen without the substantial contribution of parent and carer volunteers. Parent/carer involvement is the backbone in assisting the organisation and fundraising for the many co-curricular activities available to students.
